All You Want, and a Little More
From the engineers who changed the Analog FPV world with rapidFIRE, comes the Ghost to set a new bar for R/C Control technologies. Go faster, further, safer.
Three years in the making, countless fun-filled hours of testing by the world’s fastest pilots.
Designed in Switzerland.
IRC Ghost is PFQ (Pretty… Quick)
Choose from several modes of operation in your Ghost Transmitter. The slowest of the two Race modes runs at 160Hz frame rate, while the fastest ‘Pure Race’ rate opens the throttle to 222.22Hz frame rate.
OpenTx to Flight Controller latency is expected to run below 4ms.
Can racers feel this? good question to ask… but maybe a better question is whether you want to race against a pilot which is using it…
2.4GHz And Long Range Capabilities
ImmersionRC is setting a new standard with its Ghost system serving both the needs of Long Range pilots, Freestylers, and Racers.
Easily achieve ranges of 10s of km with equipment light enough, and antennas compact enough, to perfectly accompany your Nano Goblin™ into the neighboring country.
Since 2.4GHz antennas are relatively small, a directional antenna on the transmitter can easily double the expected range.
‘Micro Failsafes’ – Never Again
The EU-legal 868MHz is a paltry 2MHz wide. Packet loss with even 4 pilots in the air is not pretty. Add another 4, and racing isn’t fun any more.
The USA-legal 915MHz band is a little better, at 15MHz wide.
The Worldwide 2.4GHz band provides 76MHz of bandwidth, and will comfortably house countless simultaneous links without large numbers of lost packets.
With recent enhancements to Flight Controllers (feed-forward) providing superb performance, but quite sensitive to packet loss, every little helps.
Ghost Modular Transmitters
The first Ghost Transmitter is a ‘JR’ style module, with integrated OLED display and Joystick. Configure it seamlessly without the need to interact with Lua scripts.
Depending upon region, up to 350mW of RF power may be emitted through two supplied short-dipole antennas. Antenna diversity is the default mode of operation, but single antenna mode is a menu option away.
A simple menu system shows all critical parameters, including a spectrum analyzer, and a real time display of system latency, from R/C Tx to Flight Controller.
